Great experience visiting the Chateau Anna Marie. The ambiance & decor made for a very relaxing time with High end touches that made you feel like you were in a European Chateau. The restaurant really shined when it came to the food. We started with appetizers, Melted Brie w/ seasonal berries, Lamb lollipops grilled to perfection & French Onion soup. Our entrees were exquisite, Braised short rib with creamy ferrón & roasted heirloom carrots & Arugula Beet Salad with grilled chicken breast. To finish the night we chose to go with a liquid dessert, a Smoked Old Fashion & Berry Sangria. The entire diner was a 10 and recommend to anyone looking for not just dinner but a culinary experience.
